Baby Doppler Help

I bought a doppler and it came today. I am almost 11 weeks. Took me almost an hour but found the heartbeat for second then lost it again . I just tried again and I think I got it faintly real quick and that's it. Has anyone had this much trouble with a Doppler? I keep finding my own beat. Also how hard can I push and be safe?

I have a doppler and I found baby's hb at 8w4d. Yes it took a long time first time for me to find it. Don't give up you will find it. Keep in mind the baby is still really small. Once you know where your baby sits it takes about 5sec to find it after. Good luck it's a lovely feeling

My doctor told me they wouldn't find the heartbeat on their dipper until after 12 weeks so I wouldn't be too concerned

My midwife found the heartbeat at 9 weeks. But she would loose it because baby was moving all over the place ha ha.

I went had my appointment today I'm 12+4 and my doctor couldn't get the heart beat so we did a ultrasound. Just give it time :)

Even with doctor grade dopplers they have trouble finding it before 12 weeks.

You're still quite early so you might not hear much. You'd need a really good doppler (such as the one the doctors use) to hear it good this early.
